Thank Goodness Geoff Ogilvy temporarily halted the canonization of St. Eldrick. If I have to endure one more sacchrinny-sweet article full of nothing more than rehashed hagiographic hero worship, I’m going to eat my boxers. Hagiographic – (adj.), defining a biography or description of the lives of the saints. Hagiographic (n.) – saintliness. Anyway...
Now John Daly’s behavior isn’t hurting only John Daly. Now any panderer and enabler who says “he’s only hurting himself” can eat crow. This time, John Daly’s reckless attitude towards his responsibilities as a professional golfer cost Ryuji Imada and Nick O’Hern a chance to compete at Bay Hill this week. As CBSSports...
Let’s sop up the weekend’s golf news au jus, shall we? First, Steve Elling of CBSSports.com reports that Arjun Atwal’s on-again-off-again prosecution for speedracing is finally derailed. Atwal will not be charged in connection with the death of another motorist with whom he was drag racing. Next, Elling calls out John Daly for boorish behavior in...
Nationwide player Tripp Isenhour is charge with cruelty to animals after killing a protected species of hawk with a golf ball during filming of a video instruction segment. From the L.A. Times article: “According to court documents, Isenhour got upset when a red-shouldered hawk began making noise, forcing another take. He began hitting balls at the bird, then...
Three separate instances of NBA vulgarity have my Hogwarts in a knot today. First, Reggie Miller uses a crass profanity (the “T-word”) to describe an open three pointer. Thanks for proving that the Gentlemen’s Club atmosphere of the NBA is still its stock in trade. That comment had no business going out over the air. David Stern must be in spin...
Hey Julie Z, say hi to some of your neighbors. This is what you get when you live in Le Center:)
“I need a Whopper like Michael Vick needed Johnny Cochran.”
NOTE: Harsh Language, so Puritans, please click over to kidzbop.com or something. “You better go find some Whoppers, Bee-yotch!”
I hope she punches him out for this. This man is in charge of baseball? It’s a good thing for us he’s not a doctor. Hat Tip: Awful Announcing.
…and what the kind of ring tone is that? He set off every Dork alarm in the Midwest.
Two of the best in the business, Sal Johnson and Len Shapiro, breakdown the Golfweek mess. Sal discusses Golf Channel broadcasts with Rich Lerner in the chair. Len discusses why Golfweek should have known better than to pull the bush league publicity stunt they did and that they got what they deserved. Here’s my favorite section, where he calls out the...
Filing that lawsuit may be the worst decision of Roger Clemens’s life. It was bad enough he tried to bully and intimidate a government witness, (not to mention run him out of money in a massive lawsuit), but when he alleged governmental misconduct, that made both sides of the aisle stand up and take notice. Congress is now demanding not only the tapes of BOTH...
I’ll make this short and sweet. Clemens filed suit against MacNamee for defamation this morning. He has simultaneously created an out from the thorny problem of dealing with the Congressional grilling. “Sorry, sir..but I have a lawsuit going and that’s the proper time and proper manner.” We were having this discussion somewhere else, so...
So Steve Czaban is starting to sound like the Awful Announcing guys. Czabe lambasted ESPN football “analysts” – who have a worse record than even the NYC tabloids at predictions – for nonsensical purported “analysis.” From the article: In other words, it’s nothing like REAL sports debates you would have with buddies over a...
Genius. In the name of “protect the player, whatever the cost,” the MLB players’ union has completely failed the interests of all those who were not cheating. Here’s a link to Mushnick’s New York Post article. From the article: How is it possible no member of the MLBPA has stood up to ask why his union has always chosen to protect its...
Brilliant. The Onion rocks for sports now. It’s a beautiful thing.
Hat tip to Awful Announcing.
In a nutshell: we have a huge problem, everybody’s guilty for not doing something earlier but oh, hey, just give them a slap on the wrist.
Remember who paid this $20 million bill…MLB.
You know what? Clemency to these crimes is just as reprehensible and scandalous as the cheating itself.
